Ohio will spend $663,000 to clear the way for an expansion of the brewery's operations on Poplar Street.

The money will cover costs for purchasing land, demolishing existing buildings and removing pollution from the site.

The brewery will use the expansion to increase its delivery operations, which the company said would add 11 new jobs and retain 10 existing positions.

The site currently houses Calmego Foundry, which produces copper, aluminum and brass products on a limited basis.

State officials approved nearly $400,000 for improvements to the heating and air conditioning system at Summit Behavioral Healthcare, which will reduce energy consumption through high-efficiency burners for steam boilers.

Ohio also approved a two-year, $34,000 contract with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center for the Ohio Department of Health's child passenger safety program, which has distributed more than 17,000 seats over the past five years.
